Hi Steve, Well done on the 7Million, and your high RAC
- top 20 is on the first page!

At that rate you will reach 10M in about 40 days.

I see DAK is already over 66K per day. He will be back up into 2nd spot in a couple of days.
I hope the new application attracts a few more back. I am now concentrating more on GPU work than CPU, so a few fairly limited CPU systems are gone. However, I added a few extra GT240 cards recently, as they are very efficient and reliable. So my power usage is down while the overall Boinc work has risen. I also like this macro-molecular project the most. It really is like comparing 2D to 3D. This is the future of science, as long as the sponsers realise it.

That was only my small crunchbox that failed. I'm canibalizing the end of this month & moving it into an HTPC with a Geforce 9400 mobo. I hope that BOINC/GPUGRID.net supports multi/mixed GPU's, because I hope to use the 8800GT & onboard 9400 on this. Going to run Windows7 Home Premium 64 for the 30 days trial, until I can buy a license, because I tried running a mix of GTX260 & 8800GT on Mint Linux 64, & it couldn't detect the 8800GT.

If I can get 12mil in a year & run for 3 years, it'll be interesting if the hardware will last, but I expect that it doesn't even make sense to run GPUGRID on any hardware for more then 2 years before upgrading. Already many have complained the the G92 isn't scoring that well. Might just considder aggressively OC'ing en par with the 2 year useful lifetime of hardware.

Thanks Mark.
If you left the search for ET to the ATI folks you would stay ahead that bit longer ;)

To me sETi is down there with counting Pi or trying to find another prime number - just slightly better than trying to create a quantum singularity. Although I am not sure I would want to pay the electric bill to do so, I would run Aqua and even the Milkyway before I ran sETi, Collatz or PrimeGrid. Not sure Aqua still use GPUs. I run the Lattice project, but it is extremely rare that I get a task.

At our present rates I will get to 9M about 2days after you. I'm actually aiming to reach 10M by 23rd Apr.

Thanks Mark.

Yes you are probably right there, although I try to use the machines with the lesser GPU's (GTS250) to run Seti and Einstein I only run their CPU app.

Well each to their own. After all it is the "mother" of all the BOINC projects. Or should that be the guinea pig :-)

I'd better get my cards cooking then. My problem is I can't run them during the day due to heat, so they only tend to run overnight. Should give you plenty of opportunity to get ahead.

My WC picks were Spain, Holland, Brazil, Germany, and Argentina - in that order. Uruaguay were my outsiders. I picked England to fail, again, as they always do, with one exception. There is a saying, 66 & FA since.

I have one system approaching 50M, and there are fourteen 50M+ systems, but it looks like you will have the first 100M system on GPUGrid.

Although I popped into 9th spot today for total contribution, I can’t see that lasting too long; a few of those high RAC crunchers are not far behind – but all good for the project. Hopefully StoneAgeMan will bring some of his rigs back in 16days or so.

Right now there are several big crunchers making big contributions - good to see...WirelessDude just made it into the top 20 for Total Credit, and at his present rate he should pass me in about 10 or 11days...

My main crucher pc has passed 200M lately. I have changed my hosts' operating system from WinXP to WinXP x64 (mostly because Rosetta needs a lot of ram). I have to admit that this is the fastest MS os (if it has enough ram)

Passed 600K half a day ago. Not so much as the other milestones reported here, but still. Now first to get 2 other projects above 500K and 1 other above 600K (in all 3 I participated years longer than in GPUGrid, in SETI just over 10 years, but GPUGrid outranks it now creditwise).

The longer I live, the more reasons I develop for wanting to die.

A couple of hours ago I passed 1M on GPUGrid, the first project I'm running with over 1M credits. And last Monday I passed 3M on BOINC Total and half a day ago I passed 400K on Collatz.

Yipie invested over one week intensive 24h per day work (sponsored by european Winter :P) to break the 5M milestone/new Level and finally reached it :)

I just passed a minor milestone on GPUGrid compared to the 2M a couple of days ago, 2.5M to be exact, but it's such a nice number.
I also passed 5M on BOINC total credits. All thanks to my recent bought GTX-570.

Anthony.

I passed 6M on GPUGrid (and 3M on MilkyWay, 1.3M on SETI and 300K on Cosmology) and I'm about to pass 12M on BOINC total credits.

I passed 10M on GPUGrid, I passed 20M on BOINC Combined this week (and I'm about to pass 7.5M on MilkyWay), entered the top 5000 worldwide, the top 100 for my country and the top 25 for my team, all on BOINC Combined.

I'm one of the last ones, who could have reached to the top 100 in BOINC with less than 1 billion credits.
As far as I can recall the required credit triples every year for a given position on the top 100 list.

My main cruncher PC has passed over 400 million credits today.
Also it's RAC is over 1.5 million credits ATM. It's peak could be around 1.6 million, assuming the project won't run out of the current workunits...
This host in itself could be the 7th on the toplist of users.
So, hereby I present a Glutamin badge to my host:
And this is my 500th post in this forum.
:)

My main cruncher PC has reached 500M credits today :)
Due to cooling optimization another one of my crunchers has the highest RAC at the moment, but I plan to swap two GPUs between this two PCs to restore the original RAC order.

Today I've reached 1.5 Billion credits
My new level badge is Histidine.Erik Postnieks did it the same day, and his RAC is so high, that it's equal to the next 30 volunteers' combined RAC.
Congratulations to him for pushing me down to the 3rd place in such a short time! (23 days)
These are really good times for the GPUGrid project!

I'm waiting for the GTX 660 Ti to drop in price. Currently these are available at $326 (after $20 rebate and incl taxes). My engineer friend who builds my systems just installed two of them and he processes long tasks in about 18,000 sec. My two GTX 650 Ti cards eat long tasks in about 33,000 sec…..
I will not be able to achieve the 18,000 sec. mark with my system as my friend overclocks his machines by 20%. He also overclocks the memory: I refuse to do that as I have had significant problems in the past with overclocking and taking desktops to and from my friend’s house is too difficult. At 66, I’m not able anymore to lift the cases.
So, in the near future, I will be snapping at your 20M total….

I've earned 1,830,236,455 credits in GPUGrid so far.
According to Boincstats, today I've reached 1,853,492,168 credits combined of all projects.
I think you might wonder why this hard-to-read number is so important for me, that I pay tribute to it?
Well, I'm not drunk (maybe I should be), and I don't know if it's a prime number either - it doesn't matter anyway -,
but it's important because it makes me the 60th BOINC cruncher in the world.
Now, this is a much easier readable number (surely not a prime), but you can still wonder, why exactly the 60th place is so important to me?
The importance is that the 60th place makes me the highest ever Hungarian cruncher on the combined toplist.
The previous record holder is this guy.
He was 61st on 14. september 2004. I wonder how much credit he had on that day?
Today he has 13,425,857 credits (combined).
When everything runs smoothly, my 10 GPUs earn this much credit in 3 days. That's quite a development in computing technology.
So today I just broke an 8 and a half year old national record, and it makes me quite proud of myself :)
I've started hardcore crunching in May 2010, so it took me (and for my girlfriend) almost 3 years.
It wouldn't be possible without Her constant support, so I would like to thank Her for that!
Now that I could say I've reached my goal, I wonder how long my record will last?
One thing is sure: my future competitors will have a much harder time in getting above the 60th place than I had.
I had to post this because I think that the best audience to share my delight is all of you here in GPUGrid.
Don't worry - I'll keep on crunching. :)
I wish you to enjoy crunching as much as I enjoy it!
Regardless of your goals or competitors, always keep in mind that in crunching we're not competitors at all: we're partners.
I will think of that when I begin to fall back on the toplist.
